Speaking at the awards ceremony of the Beqa Island Community Training on Traditional Canoe Building and Sailing, one of the five female awardees and traditional fisherwoman, Senimelia Narimo, said engine failure was always a worry. “Sometimes, it is not easy being a fisherwoman when the seas get rough, we worry if the engine will fail,” Ms Narimo said.
